The seeds of shit were sown from the start by making it a TCG.

>all the problems of a TCG going back to its inception
>poor rulemaking and balance checks creates both massive bloat and an ever expanding list of errata and non-legal cards

>as a result a secondary market fueled by WAACs and whales develops
>secondary market rapidly becomes an avenue for speculators
>company doesn't actually care who the cards are being sold to as long as they sell

I haven't played MtG since 2005, how wrong am I?

>>97635118
OP's whining about the crossovers, not the game itself.

>>97634861
Alongside what >>97635118 mentioned (followed by many players switching to EDH for a casual multiplayer format to try to escape price lockouts), MtG's flavor has become such a mess because WotC sucks at storytelling. They're really bad at paying off villains or wrapping up a plot in a satisfying way. That's what lead to the death of blocks, and eventually just licensing out other IPs to rely on other successful stories instead of their own.

>>97634861
As a YGO player this picture amuses me greatly.

Magic was only ever fun when I was in highschool playing with prebuilts and penny cards, maybe someone has a 20 dollar card. If MTG had a proper way to gauge deck strength it would be more enjoyable. Nowadays I would only buy a couple prebuilt decks and play against prebuilts. Deckbuilding and the power creep propped up by throwing money at good cards destroys the game part for me.

>>97634861
Still the best card game out there, sorry if this fact makes you mad

>>97636110
it still sucked. it has been observed time after time again that blocks are terrible

you're basically putting your eggs in one basket for half a year. if people don't like the first set, they're almost guaranteed to not like the second. and even people who *do* like the first set likely will get tired of the second and exhausted by the third because it will be the same plane with similar mechanics. having an entire year of kamigawa and mirrodin and time spiral almost killed the goddamn game

Not to mention they all have to use similar mechanics so the design team will exhaust design space, so they continuously get worse as they progress and one of them will universally be much worse then the others no matter what. this was literally always the case.

Did OP really just make a thread to show off a retarded comic?

>>97634861
Greed and hubris. There are several points where you can say things started going downhill, but the explosive power creep starting in 2019 and the introduction of Universes Beyond in 2020 were the biggest death knells. The competitive scene has disintegrated even on the humble LGS level and the customer base was largely supplanted by tourists and investorfags.

The schizophrenic jumping from theme park to theme park really isn't better.

>>97636084
She's fucking unhinged and probably like 90% of why they've walked back "commander precons are like bracket 2".

Card games are the worst of all worlds with tabletop games.
Minis cost a lot, but involve a good amount of personal involvement building and painting the models.
RPGs are relatively cheap and playtime to cost is extremely low, multiple people can share one purchase, etc.

TCGs are expensive and personal expression is low, everyone just makes net decks.

>>97636681
they're just cards my dude, you take the ones you like and put them into a deck and beat your friends / enemies with them.

commander chads

>>97636731
Anon she is handing two cards to another player every turn to gain her full value. She is the definition of bracket 2 only because in any further brackets any value she accumulates will be outweighed by that. In any format people will gladly eat 10 damage to the face if it means drawing one more card and she's handing them out like candy.

>>97637085
You don't play a lot of commander do you son? Lets talk about the pixar-mom-sized flying rabbit-elephant ass in the room.

Ms Bumbleflower is a 1/5 Vigilance; or she would be, but in any metric that matters she's a 2/6 Flying Vigilance, cause either you're dropping a spell to haste her and she goes airborne or you're setting her fat ass in the way of any attackers for a turn, then you'll have a full round of mana to start nonsense.

What a cheat though, you say, you have to give your opponents cards to get any value out of this? How bad can it be? Well it's a precon that's got Triskaidekaphile, Twenty Toed Toad and Simic Ascendancy all in it; draw her the wrong number of cards and damn that's game over right there.

Sure though, each turn if you're lucky you're one of the next contestants on "You draw a card.", in fact here, draw a lot of cards so long as Ms B keeps getting to draw. Everyone else at the table is begging you to stop drawing but you're sure you're going to get use out of this dumb bracket 2 rabbit and then you go to combat and they go "Naughty Naughty, why don't you guys sort this out on your own" and you get Illusionist Gambited into just fucking DELETING one of the other players at the table, and they've got like four or five other ways to do that too.

If that doesn't work out for them I'm sure you'll have a solution for the commander damage, or the pile of tokens slowly consuming the table, or the unironic poison counter win (here's some treasures, don't spend them though, oh no, trust me).

She's a solid fucking 3 if there ever was one out of the box and she only gets better inversely correlated with the IQ of your table.

When casuals took over.
The answer is always that.
Why does stuff enshittify? Because casuals take over.

>Inb4 b-bbut I'm ah ecking casual I'm le different!1
No, you aren't. You are spiritually a shit golem, an indian in spirit.

>>97637247
Or I doom blade her after I draw a card and now you've spent 4 mana for literally nothing. You didn't even make me spend any cards. Voltron is a fucking joke, that's what it is. It's only viable in brackets where nobody even knows Naturalize or Murder exists.

Look, I know you're very excited with your bracket 2 bunny, but Bumbleflower isn't even like, top 10 precons of all time. Valgavoth is slamming the faces of every other player into a rock every turn and laughing. Dihada gives you 4 treasures every turn then makes your creatures unkillable lifelinkers. Urza makes 10 40/40s, they're all got menace indestructible double strike, and if he dies who gives a shit he's got affinity. Kilo is one Freed From the Real away from deleting the whole table at all times. Hearthrull shits out so much value you're going to forget the other players even have turns.

I laugh because you put a card that dog fucking shit in your deck and spent 3 mana to defend your commander while losing her for an entire turn cycle anyway

Cool, cool. I swing for lethal commander damage at your face on my next turn with a 19/19 bunny. It's turn 5 btw.

>>97637408
where are you getting 18 power from again? either way i just remove her again. you can phase her out all you want but that's just another turn you're left without a commander, you know.

your commander's draw literally caps at 2. every single spell you cast after that? actively benefitting your opponent while you only get a single counter. meanwhile the guy with the World Shaper precon over there has an infinite land sac combo primed to go.

They have never won and all their turns are just 15 minutes of profilerate juggling until someone casts an artifact board wipe and they have nothing anymore. In the meantime, I just got Flaming Fist off a Key to the Vault trigger and now I'm swinging for lethal. Response?

>>97637484

dude is that data? wild

>>97637333
She's not a voltron deck newbie. The fact you can't tell is all I needed to know your thoughts on the matter aren't worth hearing.

You and the other fucko keep looking for upgrades and garbage to throw onto the pile like it matters, if we're talking blow for blow precons Valgavoth is going into the cuck chair with a Vow of Loyalty as you're scraping your deck to find a sac outlet for your own commander.

And Dihada only nets you 4 treasures on 4 misses, going down to 2 loyalty if you rip it the turn you put her down. Forget dying to doom blade, how's it feel to lose your commander to flying bunny ass as an easy layup? Maybe Ms. B pitied you enough to give you cards, but something tells me she's not going to.

And really? Affinity-100cards.dec? It'd be a real shame if someone were to... say, bounce all your constructs to your hand.

>>97637521
I don't see how that happened when you're spending 5 mana to equip one (1) artifact in hopes of getting to one free spell when you hit something. If you hit something and nobody has a flying chump from like a bitterblossom or something. maybe your pod is dog fucking shit at the game, have you thought of that?

>>97637541
>5 mana for "look at the top 20 cards of your deck and pick whichever one you like"
Yeah totally worthless lmao

Why would I give a shit if Val can't attack when he's still drawing me cards every turn?
>And Dihada only nets you 4 treasures on 4 misses, going down to 2 loyalty if you rip it the turn you put her down. Forget dying to doom blade, how's it feel to lose your commander to flying bunny ass as an easy layup
Pretty good, considering you wasted your turn swinging at a planeswalker and I can just recast her next turn because 4 treasures. And now my graveyard is full. Consider that I didn't miss shit. I'm putting my cards in the graveyard for this Reanimate I got here on my hand. Enjoy my dear friend Archon of Cruelty.
>And really? Affinity-100cards.dec? It'd be a real shame if someone were to... say, bounce all your constructs to your hand.
If we're playing Omniscience emblem and we've seemingly got infinite mana I'm just bringing all the cascade spells i have

>>97637548
IF you manage to connect. IF NOBODY has a fog. Or removal. Or even an 1/1 faerie or bird or whatever. The more jumps a card has to jump through to be useful the worse it is; there's a reason Key ot the Vault is in the bulk rare bin and is never even spoken of in the same breath as all the actually good equipment like, say, Umezawa's Jitte, Sword of Feast and Famine, Cranial Plating or Skullclamp.

You know, in retrospect, Theros was super lazy in overall. How many cards in it are just [Greek Legend] with the name swapped?

>>97637588
You're coping so hard over this it's actually a little unbelievable
"But what if everybody at the table has fliers and removal and fog at the same tim"

>>97637598
If anyone has literally any of these you wasted 5 mana. meanwhile an actually good equipment does things without you having to pray for everyone to have brain damage and bring zero fliers or interaction

>>97637602
>"Who has fliers? Oh you dont? Okay I swing at you"
Do you have a custom rule 0 where everyone's board state is kept a secret from the other players or something?

>>97637604
1. if you just spent 5 mana on the key, your commander is not particularly large because you don't have infinite mana and can't cast the spells you need to make it so.
2. if it IS large, everyone is going to see it coming. "Wow, this guy is going to hit with his "cast a free spell if it hits" creature. Better not let that happen." Is basic reasoning. Do you play with Down Syndrome patients?

>>97637594
All of them, Anon. That was the entire point.

>>97637623
Wow it would be crazy if I took all of that into mind and filled my deck with protection and evasion tools and counterspells

>>97637575
See you're doing that retard shit again where you're just talking about cards in the color instead of cards in the deck. This ain't about your mid netdeck. If you get to do whatever you want then I can ACTUALLY fucking crack the bunny and we can start arguing about how badly big badass high artificer Urza wishes he was a fat-assed rabbit.

>>97637629
You spent FIVE MANA on an equipment your ability to protect your commander is highly fucking limited.

>>97637638
That's crazy
I sure wish my commander had green maybe I would be able to ramp then
Unfortunately bumbleflower is only blue/white as we all know

>>97637641
Alright so, let's imagine you ramped like crazy and have like 9 mana turn 5. You just spent... 5 of it to equip, so now you have four, enough for maybe two counterspells or protection spells, assuming you also drew all of them, and if you play them then Bumbleflower is going to hit like a wet noodle because then you're not casting any of these counter and pump spells you need for her to do something that's not "look at the top three cards, it's a land, a counter and a cantrip". Do you just not understand how Key of the Vault is an horrifyingly inneficient use of your mana? 5 mana to maybe get a free spell is fucking awful. Just cast that shit with the five mana.

>>97637655
Crazy thought here but you know I'm not forced to equip it on the same turn I cast it right?

>>97637641
We don't even need green necessarily. We have Smothering Tithe and Tataru Taru in White. We're going to space on mana just off of retards taking free cards.

You guys keep talking about her like she's voltron. That's brainlet shit. If you guys can't understand the concept of group hug there's no point in discussing commander at all.

>>97637660
okay, so... You're still paying 5 mana overall, except now you're waiting even more to even get use out of the card! you spent 2 mana on an artifact that will literally do nothing, and for it to start paying itself you'll have to cast a bunch of shit. and if anything ever goes wrong, you're going to have to pay 3 mana again, and every protection card you include to keep the goddamn creature alive is another card that is a complete whiff if Key to the Vault hits it.

>>97637668
group hug is fucking shit. congrats retard you let the storm player draw his underworld breach. now we're all dead. Amazing. I'm sure it was worth one singular counter in your creature.

>>97637682

It's punk asses like you that win group hug players games; cause you sit down with the short bus 'i bought the precon cause it's got a bunny on it' tables and are like 'these edibles ain't shit' and then you know what, Ms. B didn't even need to do anything to kill you, she just held up perch protection and gave the storm player A SECOND FUCKING TURN.

You are the one piggie dissenting because you think you need your 1 eligible fetch and 1 eligible shock for your 2 color

>>97637754
>Bracket 5: cEDH
>Experience: This is high power with a very competitive and metagame-focused mindset.
>"Mindset" is a key part of that description: Much of it is in how you approach the format and deck building. It's not just no holds barred, where you play your most powerful cards like in Bracket 4. It requires careful planning: There is care paid into following and paying attention to a metagame and tournament structure, and no sacrifices are made in deck building as you try to be the one to win the pod. Additionally, there is special care and attention paid to behavior and tableside negotiation (such as not making spite plays or concessions) that play into the tournament structure.
>cEDH, or "competitive Commander" and similar names, is where winning matters more than self-expression. You might not be playing your favorite cards or commanders, as pet cards are usually replaced with cards needed in the meta, but you're playing what you think will be most likely to win.
b5 is explicitly the metagame of the highest possible level of EDH. If you just want to play high power commander bracket 4 exists for that purpose. bracket 5 is the place, specifically, for the meta decks. here is, indeed, the place where you run zero pet cards and literally every fetch possible and bolt yourself in the face to have your mana one turn early. where you windmill slam every meta card into the deck. it is the ENTIRE POINT of the bracket. to contain these people.

Yes? Incredible consistency, a card in the graveyard, deckthinning, a free shuffle. Fetchlands are absolutely fucking cracked, there is no reason to not run them. It benefits the performance of every deck that can use them. monocolor decks jam fetchlands into themselves because they're that good. Hell, there are COLORLESS decks that jam Prismatic Vista, the only fetchland they can run, because it is THAT fucking good to have them around.

>>97637803
That's cool and all but you're playing a 2 color deck that can win on turn 3/4/5
Keep wasting money though i guess
Oink oink

>>97637790
it's not even competitive or anything. it has never seen any serious play. probably wouldn't even 10 years ago.

>>97637805
>That's cool and all but you're playing a 2 color deck that can win on turn 3/4/5
...and?
the point of cedh is to try and win no matter what. fetchlands see play in literally every format they are legal in. they are literally better then the original untapped duals. why would I not run a card that greatly increases my chances of winning?

>>97637809
You have copedowned from "It's impossible to do budget winota cedh" to "WELL BUT YOU CAN BUT IF YOU SPEND $400 YOU CAN WIN 2.5% MORE OF THE TIME"

>>97637812
Between a deck with a fetchland manabase and a deck with a basic manabase I will bet on the fetchland one 100 times out of 100.

You genuinely do not understand how big of an impact on your game having a proper manabase has.

>>97637824
That's cool and all but I'm not the one claiming that the one commander everyone universally sayscan be built as a cedh budget deck akschually cant because you need to spend $400 on cards you have a *checks the hypergeometric calculator* ~50% chance of not even drawing 1 of in the average game

>>97637847
drawing literally any of them means your chances of winning basically double. Meanwhile, a shitty manabase means you can easily be left doing absolutely nothing for half the game because you simply didn't draw the lands you needed.

>>97637871
You're so right I actually do need these $500 lands for my 2 color deck with a 2.3 avg cmc whos entire deal is putting the commander on the field and then cheating out creatures for free

>>97636948
Retard

>>97637881
if you want to play against the people who are putting 600 dollar cards in their decks and not get roflstomped immediately then probably yes. your average cedh grinder can reliably drop winota turn 2, attack, drop a big human like auratouched mage and instantly win the game

>>97637935
Wow they can instantly drop a $0.25 cent card and win the game? Tell me again how you need a $500 man base to accomplish this in a 2 color deck

>>97637942
because you need total consistency for this? lotus petal rite of flame ancient tomb chrome mox mox opal mana vault etc. without total consistency allowing it to always have 2WR or more accessible by turn 2 no matter what it will get smashed every game by decks that do

>>97637947
That's cool and all but I can still google "cedh winota budget" and find decklists and you still haven't told me how I'm somehow imagining things that aren't real yet

>>97637958
yeah and I can find "modern skred" or "cedh aunt may" decklists right now too. Doesn't mean skred is anything remotely close to viable in modern or that bringing aunt may into CEDH isn't an elaborate suicide

>>97637982
More cope

Oh wait I think it just clicked for me. Piggie is probably protective over "his" format" that he paid a lot of money for to be "allowed" in and it makes him upset that there's a commander that's cedh viable sith with a manabase of mostly basics. "How dare you not spend hundreds on fetches like I did??" is probably whats going through piggie's mind

They don't fucking do CEDH tournaments where I am you fucking retard. If you want to play CEDH you go to the LGS on commander day and find a pod. Kill yourself.

>>97638012
I'm sure your bracket 1 kellan vs gollum vs glissa the traitor vs loot night is all powerful cedh decks anon. I'm sure you can win. Your deck is so well made and you're sooo smart for not playing any of these complicated dual lands. all basics, that's so much smarter. go, anon, win, I'm sure you're definitely going to drop that turn 8 doubling season this game.

>>97638032
I think I was right on the money with >>97637997 you are having a breakdown and treating it as a personal attack that there exists decks where people don't have to spend as much money as you did to play and be viable

>>97638038
yeah anon you're definitely going to conquer CEDH with your winota all basics list. please send me the video I'd love to see it.

>>97638096

>ok for me

>WHAAAAAT??? AHHHHH HOW DARE ANYONE SAY THAT
>SHOW ME THE RECORDING OF YOU WINNING A CEDH TOURNAMENT RIGHT NOW
>NOBODY HAS THE RIGHT TO PLAY CEDH UNLESS THEY DROP $400 ON LANDS LIKE I DID

>>97638115
Different anon, what would this $50 list consist of?

>>97636426
>you're basically putting your eggs in one basket for half a year.
Better than sticking your mouth up a rooster's ass and expecting breakfast, like they're doingright now with the IP roulette.

I may pick her up just because I play with 3 autists that always gang up and Hate on the dumbest guy in the group every single game. Imma just hook him up fat and hope he smashes the crap out of em. They mald and seethe so hard when he wins and I think its hilarious.

I played my first game with the bunny on Friday. It was against 2 izzet spellslingers. She was a 20/20+ after one round, and the only reason I lost was because I didn't counterspell the right threat. At that point we all knew the game was done one way or another and I was in a rush to leave anyway.
The precon kicks ass, keep coping faggot.

Idk, no one in my area is interested in turtles or marvel so the prerelease for the former was empty and same will be for the latter.

>>97635329
I'm a trans and I don't like mtg

>She was a 20/20+ after one round
she adds one (1) counter per spell. if you were casting enough spells for it to matter you could have won with fucking Wood Elemental.

Amazing that out of all the planes, Bloomburrow turned out to be the waifu plane.

Time Spiral. It was be beginning of the end. WotC realized they could just keep adding more and more shit like planewalkers and nostalgia (which lead to IP sets). Nail in the coffin was Lorywn set 1, the cutesy dnd character art style really cemented into shit about then. Everything after that was a rocket train to fuck.

>>97634861
Some combination of this >>97635118 in the purely structural sense, but also Hasbro corporate culture has just caused total decay. They're literally incapable of caring about the game as a game anymore, everything is a marketing scam. It's just total, abject greed. All the woke shit, the power creep, the crossovers, it's all just downstream of myopic greed. The game doesn't matter, squeezing whales of their money is what matters. The shittier the game gets, the more sane people leave. The more sane people leave, the more they need to squeeze the players that remain even harder.
Eventually the only people who can stomach MtG are actual, genuine fucking ideologues who make the Hasbro corporate ethos part of their personalities. Sometimes people like me will have a pang of nostalgia and consider getting back in, but then I enter the threads and see the Spiderman/Fortnite crossover shit, and a cursory investigation of the state of the game reveals it to be a complete dumpster fire, and then I back down.
Why the fuck would I try to re-enter a hobby that's become a parody of itself?
And again, when people like me won't come back and spend money, what does Hasbro do? Squeeze the faggots that remain even harder.
All they know how to do is accelerate their decline to pad their quarterlies.

what the fuck are you talking about?

>he can't see it even as he posts it
This is because its all you've ever known.

>>97634861
>Why did MtG become so shit?

The same reason everything else becomes shit: the original devs lost control. Selling the company to Hasbro was a horrific mistake that damaged Magic in ways that can never be repaired or healed. >>97645306 has it right: Hasbro does not care about the product's quality at all. They just want to whore it out as efficiently as they can.
